What is the Georgia Milestones test? 
I'm glad you asked! This test has now replaced the CRCT a "Criterion-Referenced Competency Test" which is fancy language for a test that measures how competent your child is in certain standards (or criteria, hence "criterion-referenced") covered in the classroom.
Please see the link below for additional information from t
he Georgia Department of Education.

Georgia Milestones Tips:

1. Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than you normally do so that you will be rested for  the test. 

2.  Eat breakfast before coming to school and if you do not have time, get breakfast at school. 

3. Bring a healthy snack  and water to have at our snack time between testing periods. 

4. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes while taking the test. 

5. Relax and show your best work. You are ready for the test6. Use your time wisely during the  test---you have roughly 70 minutes to complete  the reading and math section. 60 minutes to complete the science and social studies sections. You are allowed to go back and check your answers.
